Overview
- Senga, who allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings in Sunday’s doubleheader nightcap, now owns a 9.00 ERA through 20 innings.
- Across his last three starts, he has not finished four innings and has yielded 17 runs, with 16 earned, over 8.1 innings.
- The Mets were swept by Colorado, and manager Carlos Mendoza said he will consult president of baseball operations David Stearns before deciding Senga’s role.
- Options under consideration include moving Senga to the bullpen or asking him to accept a demotion to Triple-A Syracuse, and Senga said a minors assignment would require many discussions.
- Senga attributed his slump to mechanical issues, while recent game data show a 13.4% walk rate and weak results on pitches other than his forkball, a combo that has strained the bullpen and heightened rotation uncertainty.
